Turkey on the Table: A Thanksgiving Tradition of Gratitude and Giving Back

Nov 07, 2023 at 10:22 am by RMGadmin


If you haven’t heard of Turkey on the Table, it’s not too late to start this heartfelt tradition this Thanksgiving season. Launched in 2015 by two moms, April George and Kerry Maunus, Turkey on the Table has become a family tradition in thousands of homes across the country.
 
Turkey on the Table is a decorative tabletop display that turns gratitude into action. The adorable kit includes a “Turkey,” a set of customizable Thankful Feathers®, a marker, and a heartwarming book. Each day of November, participants are encouraged to write what they’re grateful for on a feather and add it to their Turkey. On Thanksgiving Day, friends and family gather around their “fully dressed” Turkey and read their feathers aloud. 
 
In addition to being a visual display of gratitude, Turkey on the Table is a fun and easy way to give back to those in need. Ten meals are donated to Feeding America, the nation’s largest network of food banks, with every Turkey on the Table sold. Over 1.8 million meals have been donated to date.
 
“Cultivating a grateful heart, while helping those in need, is at the core of our mission. We know that looking at life through a lens of gratitude nurtures a healthy mindset,” says Nashville resident George.
 
“Not only is giving thanks important, but we feel just as strongly about giving back,” says Bay Area, CA, Maunus. “We are so grateful for our partnership with Feeding America, which has enabled us to help put food on the tables of hard-working Americans for nine years and counting.”
 
You can find Turkey on the Table at Nordstrom, on Amazon, at turkeyonthetable.com, and locally at White’s Mercantile stores. An assortment of replacement feathers are available on their website so you can enjoy your Turkey on the Table year after year.
